Just need an outlet to rant. As if mummy guilt is not enough, people have to add in comments about poor baby, have to go school for the whole day and no one to take care at home. so heart pain. But honestly, sending my baby to school also means learning a lot of other things like social skills etc. LO looks forward to school, misses school, and reaches for her educarers when she reaches school. She doesn't cry the roof down when she goes school n is happy there. What exactly is so poor thing about enjoying school and learning things from a young age? Both parents r working for a better future for the LO, not as though I'm a SAHM and still choose to send LO to school so that I can kiao ka at home? I know they may not mean it, but really wish they can be abit more sensitive when they say such things. Or if there's any hidden message, I'll so much rather they tell me what they want.. Sigh... ?

haha same here! i put my daughter in infant care at 4mo and stranger aunties will say that aiyooo so poor thing so small go school etc...u not heart pain ah?? but we dont have any better choice isnt it? and i also agree tt putting to school earlier really benefits them alot compared to putting at home with grandparents or helpers who will only keep making them sleep/watch tv..dont even teach as much as in school. so i really ignore those comments. on the other hand i am really glad i sent LO to infant care rather than having grandparents to look after as they really try to give her alot of "junks" like play w their hp....watch tv.....take pacifier as and when without any reason. my lo quit her pacifier in sch at 8mo as sch dont really encourage. i am ok to give for naps or sleep but grandparents always wanted to give! so i witness for myself and secretly happy that i sent lo to infant care :)
